WinMP3Packer Beta released

I'm the bloke using a Mac and cdj's! The easiest solution was to find a pc, hook on my drive and process all my vbrs.Thing is: whatever i do, files are always output to 320kbps, whereas they only have a vbr bitrate of eg.182.I want them to be 192, no point having them at 320.can somone help me out.thankyou

Hey,

The problem there is that some parts of the file require 320kbps, in which case the whole file must end up being 320kbps in order to keep the bitrate 'constant'. There's not a lot that mp3packer can do in this case.

Hey seriously guys, I'd pay good money to someone that would release a nice GUI MAC version!!!That would save my life, as no one is capable of a good ripping out there! My CDJs would love you long time!!! lolIs somone ready to take the challenge...?Thanx a lot folks!

Would it be possible to provide a version that uses multiple files at once? IE 2 for dual core so that 2 can happen at same time for double speed. As this is batch processing, it should be easy to do.

I've had this thought before but the main bottleneck with mp3packer is the hard disk access... if you were to process 2 x files at once, it'd just result in an excess of seeking around the hard disk and fragmentation of the destination files.

I've tweaked the wiki and added a link to where you can download the latest WinMP3Packer version: 1.0.18-alpha.

In psyllium's original 1.0.18-alpha zip download release he included mp3packer.exe version 1.18. 1.0.18-alpha was released on 13-06-2007 and since then mp3packer version 1.20 has been released. I have thus added mp3packer version 1.20 to the zip download. I've also replaced the mp3packer.html with the latest one. All other files remain the same.

Hope this helps

When I run WinMP3Packer I get an error [indent]"The application failed to initialise properly (0xc0000135)"I assume it's me doing something silly. Any ideas?

@botface: I just downloaded it and placed it in a clean directory and ran it against a 320kbps mp3 and it worked fine. So, at least it does work.

Do you have .NET 2.0 installed?

Other than that I do not know. I've used both mp3packer & WinMP3Packer (in their many version guises) since they were released. As a user and fan of WinMP3Packer I am just providing webspace for the package to be stored at since psyllium's webspace is dead. I am not looking after it other than that I'm afraid.

Perhaps try using mp3packer on the commandline. It's quite easy. Just read the help first etc and have a play.

My old webspace appears dead, sorry about that everyone. I should check with my friend to see if I can resurrect it somehow.

Hi psyllium, can you either release the code, or fix the problem, where, if you processes a lot of files, the number of saved kbs overflows the variable, and it shows as negative? I assume you have to make it a longint type.-

[...]It usually freezes like that when there are lots of log entries (the warnings can bloat the log very fast).

If the developer is still reading this: At jobs with many lines of output (one single file might suffice, it could have 10000 warning lines), then still the speed really goes down. I've played around a bit, and with those really bad files (damn you, Xing) my fairly new computer has been way below 0.05x realtime more than once.

That looks suspicious. Are you sure your computer does not have any viruses or malware?

I'm not sure but I use antivirus SW witth the latest updates. The name of the dll library is always different and when I look into the folder there is never such file.I tried to delete everything from this temp folder before opening the app once again but there was no difference in behaviour.

Edit: I'll run a full scan for anything that may be harmful to my computer. I've never had any problems for years. This is the first strange behaviour I've encountered.
